“…Finally, our findings suggest that firms actions to meet the environmental regulations set by the countries of their foreign counterparts influenced the formulation of their environmental strategy and encouraged them to eco-innovate. This is in line with the literature, which shows that internationalization is a main driver of environmental strategies (González-Benito & González-Benito, 2006;Suarez-Perales et al, 2017) and that export-oriented firms are more innovative (Horbach, 2014;Peñasco, del Río, & Romero-Jordán, 2017). This is probably due to, both, demand-pull pressure and knowledge spillovers.…”

The drivers of eco-innovation (EI) have been the focus of much research in the past. Some of these drivers have been external to the firm, such as regulation, whereas others have been internal, including its resources and capabilities and its environmental strategy. However, the analysis of the impact of those drivers on EI has too often been carried out as if they were separated from each other. In reality, the EI drivers are likely to interact. This paper tries to cover this gap in the literature using a holistic and integrated approach. Survey data from 97 chemical firms were analyzed using partial least squares to determine the critical drivers of EI and their interconnections. Our results indicate that, in fact, the impact of some drivers might not be direct but is mediated by their influence on other drivers. This is the case with environmental collaboration, environmental knowledge, green skills, consumer pressure, and export behavior, which have an indirect effect on EI through their impact on environmental strategies. Therefore, our results suggest that environmental strategy is a central mediator and a powerful driver for the entire model.

“…For example, there are modest domestic sources for and investments in eco-innovation (Peñasco, del Río, & Romero-Jordán, 2017), but European green policies and cooperation with other international agents positively and significantly influence the awareness and diffusion of eco-innovation among entrepreneurs (Peñasco, et al, 2017). Also, Spain and its economic agents (entrepreneurs included) are highly influenced by national and international ecoinnovation drivers.…”

Sustainable business model innovation debate is mostly focusing on the use of certain practices and tools to implement sustainable objectives in new firms. Our paper contributes to this debate examining the factors influencing the entrepreneur's election of the practices to develop sustainable business model innovation (SBMI). We conducted an empirical analysis on a population of Spanish entrepreneurs (N = 234) and applied a sound behavioral framework and the PLS-SEM algorithms to factor out those elements. On the basis of this analysis, we argue that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habit, costs, speed, funding, and security and behavioral intention might affect the entrepreneurial acceptance of the practices leading to SBMI. We also argue that the knowledge of these factors benefit incubators, mentors, and agencies balance them into their support to sustainable business development. Our analyses open a novel research line by studying those factors influencing entrepreneurial use of sustainable innovation practices and facilitating future development of full-scale models explaining this usage.

“…The resource-based view, often attributed to the scholarly contributions of Barney (1986), Wernerfelt (1984), among others, seeks to explain why firms in the same industry might differ in their competitiveness based on their internal resources, capabilities and competence such as in-house knowledge, customer relationships, financial reserves, physical resources, reputation, motivation, top management commitment, human resources, personal contacts and networks (Peñasco et al, 2017). The central proposition of the theory is that, if a firm is to reach a state of sustained competitive advantage (acquire or develop attributes that allows a firm to outperform its competitors), it must acquire and control resources and capabilities with the so-called VRIN characteristics, i.e.…”

“…However, the resource-based view of the firm is often criticised for largely ignoring the firm's surroundings, such as market conditions and institutional contexts and their related dynamics which provide a context for competition among industries. This criticism suggests the need to complement the resource-based view of the firm with other theories which pay particular attention to the context of the firm as a basis for explaining its innovation activities (Peñasco et al, 2017).…”
